Vietnam has protested the shooting death of a fisherman by unidentified attackers off Truong Sa (Spartly) Island and ordered an investigation.

“We condemn and strongly object to the inhuman treatment of, use of or threat to use force against its fishermen,” foreign ministry spokesman Le Hai Binh said, referring to the killing on November 26.

He said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is liaising closely with relevant agencies and has ordered Vietnamese representative agencies in East Sea littoral countries to expeditiously get any possible information about the incident.
